Use the Network control panel to configure the NIC with the

information your network administrator has provided.

To configure the NIC

1. On the Start menu, point to Settings, and then tap

Control Panel.

2. Double-tap the Network icon. The Network Con-

figuration dialog box appears.

3. On the Adapters tab, select the driver or adapter,

and then tap Properties. Check with your network

administrator if you do not know which settings to

use.

4. On the Identification tab, enter your user name,

password, and domain name. This information will

be saved, so you will not have to type it every time

you connect to a network resource.

Connecting the network cable and logging on

The final step before you can log on to the network is to

connect your NIC to the network cable. Follow the

manufacturer’s instructions included with your PC Card and

contact your network administrator for further assistance.

Now, you can log on just as you do from your desktop PC.

To log on to the network with your HP Jornada

1. Insert the NIC into the PC Card slot on your

HP Jornada. The network will establish a connec-

tion automatically; once you are connected a

connection icon will appear in the status area of the

taskbar. (For more information, see the Inserting

a PC Card section in chapter 7.)

After you have connected your HP Jornada to the network,

you can access a file on a network file server by typing the

complete path to the file in the Windows CE address bar.
